On the ground the Coast Guard has the RAID Team which as described above helps make sure that supplies are properly loaded/marked/packed to clear customs. There are also 6 Patrol Boats in the Arabian Gulf which provided security to Iraqi Oil terminals during the heights of the war in Iraq. They continue to be operate with the Navy 5th fleet in the area.
I think what cga82 is trying to say is that there are a lot of Coasties who live stateside for 20 years and claim the benefits (and might often complain when they are taken away or reduced) while someone who has been in real danger gets asked to leave.
